Vel 42, Ne. 43 Flesherton, Ont., April 1922 PRICEVILLE Old man winter would not resign unit' the month of March had pasted away. Toronto, and all Canada, has lost a srreat citizen and generous friend in the passing of Sir John Eaton. Thos Fisher sold his house And park Tot to Louis Frook, who in turu sold to Archie ftlcArthur, who lives on adjoining property. Lochie McTaggeit, who has been car- ing for a fox ranch for a year or oiore, is now starting a ranch of his own. lie hbs secured a plot of ground f rom G W Tryon and will be moving his liie siver black foxes to the new grounds in a few days. The companies who raise foxes in Prince Edward Island and the farmers' families, who have a pair or more as a sideline, might total 10,000 persons. The surplus pelts or skins thftt they put on the market this l.ui season brought them one million dollars. That would be f 100 on an average, for every man, woman and child connected with the industry. How dos that compare wiih sweet clover? We hear favorable rtpoits from Fergus hospital stating that Dan McKinnon ia still improving. His siitar, the nurse, is with him and it in hoped that he will be able to be moved home in a short time. Mrs T A Ferguson, whe has been ill for a month, ia gradually improving and is able to be up a part of *ach day. Numbers of the ichool ebildren have been more or leg* absent from school owing to colds, etc. On Sunday morning of this week Rer R J McCarten was somewhtt indisposed, 'nwigg toacold, and Miis Will* Patterson at present principle at Top Cliff school, outh west of the village, conducted the service, in the Methodist church and the oongregatlou seemed to appreciate her addiew. We had an inch or so of sleet over the weak and, but nothing to compare with . Toronto'* ibare of the "beautiful." . Notice Ihere has been a report circulated to the effect that I have been the cause uf my husband i failure in business. I hers- by state that I never did any uf the buy- ing 1 , nor did I know any of bis business ai he did not t*ll me, and I am not ia any way responsible. The first debt, which was very heavy, was for settling up with others of th family. If those reports d not atop at ooa<f. somebody will be taken up for slaadef, DAND. PORTLAW Mr. J. J.

The Globe claims '.lie Government is *'Soaking the Cities " through the Axusement taxes levied on movies, race tracks, etc. We will take one case to iilistrate how Toronto soaks tho Frovinc?: The Province of Ontario paid last ye r for the up-keep cf the University of Toronto the sum of 1,380,00(1. The country is getting (he benefit, But the City of Toronto is especially favcred. Young men and ycung women whose parents live in Toi onto can stay home and attend University, while the children of parents living outside aiust come nere and p<iy for their board and lodgings, to the material benefit of Tornn'o citizens and business men. Out of a total Regis- tration at ihe -University uf Tor- onto of 4,558 there are 1.98U students from Toronto itself, opover 43 per cent, and Toronto does nothing fir fhe University! But there in also another point. The Professors of the University of Toronto are paid tens and tens uf thouianja of dollars by the Provincial Treasurer. Thfy not only pay taxes to Toronto on their houses, but on the salaries p-iid them by the Province, the City cf Toronto collects HI enormous sum of money. Thus the City of Toronto benrfiti from out-oNtown atuden's atteudgni college, and takes toll of the money paid the Professors by the province. Who> aoak- ing who? It is time Tnrouto did tome- thing for the University of Toronto or else bide its diminished head. Dundalk William Orr has partially recovered from hia critical illness and has been able to be down u>wn the past week or so. While cutting wood at Mr. Uamble'f), near Riverview, last Tuesday, the 21st, of March Mr .l.'hn \Tilson, jr., had the misfortune to losa one of bis ringers, and other one badly cut with a circular saw.

On St. Patiickjs day he was driving a team of lifey colts that were hitched to the wagon for the tirat time. The wagon was without a box and Mr. Ammcrman was silting on some boards. The colts got frigntened r hen they drew the wagon over a piece of ice and they run away over the rough field. Mr. Ammer- man was dracged forward until he was drawn or bounced over the doable-tree and fell between thu frnnt wheels. Re still clun^ to the linei ancl was hauled over the rough frozen ground. Event- uslly the team r*n on a pind, breaking through the ice. Tho water ws two or three feet deep, but the colts plunged through with the waon over Mr. Ammermau still olingiot; to the lines' rmt when they got their front feet en a Htoue pile at the other Bide of the pond they <ame to a stand-still, and Mr. Ammerman got out of Ins awkward predicament. His eon and a neighbor, Mr. Sam Moore, KUV the thrilling occurince, and ran up expecting lo find him killed. At first he thought he wasn't hurt at all, but later he felt gevirely the efforts of bumps and traits and bruises, and the cold bath, from which he has not yet quite recover- ed. Ml.
